"Is it really that simple?"
Of course not. All Might squinted his eyes, his gaze flickering with thought. "This world is truly extraordinary."
If this kind of self-generated electricity had existed in his previous world, it would have stood out. The discharge capacity and maximum output of the Shangming Electric were far inferior to his, and the control was surprisingly straightforward.
In the recent battle, All Might had relied on his extensive combat experience and instinct to quickly strike. His lightning-fast moves had left Max, the Electro, unable to fully deploy his powers, resulting in a swift defeat.
Max was just an ordinary person with no skills or experience, making him an easy target. With some training, however, Max could become a tricky opponent if he fully developed his abilities and strengthened his physique.
If All For One (AFO) possessed such powers, he could unleash a devastating force by absorbing the electricity of an entire city.
The thought of dealing with electronic abilities alone gave All Might a headache.
Of course, he hadn't fully unleashed his strength and tended to hold back against those he wasn't certain would kill.
To the onlookers, All Might had appeared extraordinarily fierce, easily defeating the formidable Electro.
"All Might! All Might! All Might!"
The crowd gathered, cheering and applauding the arrival of their new hero. They eagerly anticipated the emergence of more heroes, which made them feel increasingly secure.
"Can you get up?" All Might approached a police car and extended a hand to Spider-Man Peter Parker.
"Cough, cough. Okay, I'm recovering quickly," Peter said, managing to stand. His spider genes weren't particularly powerful, but his resilience was remarkable.
Peter glanced at All Might's strong physique and asked, "Is your body okay?"
As a fan of hero-themed comics, Peter preferred the Hero Academia series over One Punch Man, as it featured a young hero's passion and hard work, more aligned with his own aspirations.
All Might, after battle, would typically lose his powerful demeanor, becoming a weak, sickly figure with drooping golden bangs and sunken eyes. Everyone knew this was part of his established setting, especially after seeing Green Valley Isuhisa at the beginning.
"Of course, I'm fine."
All Might patted his sturdy frame with a confident smile, which reassured Spider-Man Peter.
Peter then noticed Coulson arriving with a group of agents. Not wanting to deal with such complications, he quickly swung away using his web-shooters.
"Hello, I'm CIA agent Coulson," Coulson introduced himself with a friendly smile, ignoring Peter's departure.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had not yet contacted Spider-Man, despite having all his information. Nick Fury knew about Peter because his parents were acquaintances. However, Nick Fury felt Peter was still too young and inexperienced.
Upon hearing Coulson's introduction, All Might nodded. Greeting government departments was familiar territory for him as the top hero.
"All Might, we need to know more about you. Your appearance was quite sudden," Coulson said.
All Might was a figure like Saitama in this world, with only the most basic identity information provided. Detailed information about his past wasn't necessary.
Coulson, skilled in interrogation, carefully questioned All Might, who was open about living in a villa on the outskirts of Manhattan. This detail caused Coulson to suspect connections to Xu Mo.
After a few polite exchanges, All Might leaped onto a building and vanished amidst the crowd's excitement.
Coulson, unfazed, took Electro away for further examination with the police.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was cautious with Xu Mo. Although no strong evidence linked him to recent incidents, Nick Fury remained somewhat suspicious.
If a psychiatrist had been present, Coulson might have been even more relieved.
"Welcome back, hero," Xu Mo said, patting the seat next to him on the sofa. He pointed at the TV, which was replaying footage of All Might's battle. The host was thrilled, praising All Might, who was even beginning to overshadow Captain Steve Rogers in the public eye.
All Might sat on the sofa, his form beginning to shrink after his transformation. He was no longer the powerful figure he appeared as in battle but a handsome, average-sized blond man.
This version of All Might was at his peak strength, just before the major battles against AFO five years prior to the main plot. He hadn't yet suffered significant injuries or losses, remaining the strongest symbol of peace.
Transformation wasn't limited to physical strength alone; he maintained his heroic image only when necessary.
"Can't say that," All Might said, waving his hand dismissively. "This battle has shown me that this world is indeed challenging." He reviewed the information compiled by Coulson, designed to help understand the Marvel Universe.
The information included details on mutants, heroes, S.H.I.E.L.D., and more. Xu Mo had provided this to help navigate the complexities of this world.
"Come with me to the Hero Academy tomorrow morning. Are you interested in teaching?"
"I believe the students would welcome you warmly. This world is different from the previous ones. To truly be a symbol, we need more heroes."
Xu Mo suggested thoughtfully.
All Might looked at the excited TV coverage and reflected for a moment before responding calmly, "A world that brings joy and life needs its symbols."
"No matter where I am, I will always be like this."
Xu Mo smiled and reminded him, "But the enemies in this world come not just from the front."
"A true hero is someone who can overcome adversity at any time!"
Seeing this, All Might responded with a confident and fearless smile.
